FAIL!!  No Dogfish Head Brews within 100 miles of Boise, Idaho!  If you are going to have a feature like this on your website, you would think you would be in all urban areas.  Otherwise SHUT UP about your off centered crap!   EDIT BY JIM: Here’s what happens when you do the same for […]

This weekend I am going on my Annual…scratch that, 18 month….scratch that, every once in a while…Nah, Once in a blue moon guys weekend with my two best friends Mike and Lance.  The last time we did this I made a big mistake.  I bought Wild Turkey Bourbon, which is a solid choice, but Mike […]

This is truly cool!  Take a look at the Rube Goldberg Contraption they have come up with.  Truly a work of art!

Well, has he let himself go?…or not?  It is kind of hard to tell in some cases, like that of Carrot Top.  He has made a career out of being “off”.  Just slightly out of sync with the rest of society.  But let’s face it he is good at it.  Carrot Top is perhaps one […]

Man oh man have I gone and done it this time!  I go from a 1 ounce pour of The Glenlivet 12 year to buying a bottle of their 16 year old cask strength Scotch Whisky…without a net!  That is a little like putting a dash of Tobasco on your eggs in the morning, and […]

It was late last night and I was contemplating going to bed.  It was 11pm and I was getting a little bleary after watching my current televised guilty pleasure; the “Next Iron Chef America.”  Right after the “Next Iron Chef” airs they try to hook you into watching Iron Chef America.  Good thinking on the […]

This is why the Taliban should never get us too mad.  We do these things for fun! Imagine if we got really mad!

Victory comes clean with their Bourbon Barrel project.  Jim and I are supposed to be getting some of this…Hmmm we’ll see.  Dark Intrigue will hit the shelves in November.   That is 7 months in the barrel…Yummm!  

I thought about this on my way in today.  I saw that someone found our site by googling the question “Is drinking on the weekend bad for you?”  It got me thinking that there are a lot of questions that I sometimes wonder about, and moreover wonder about how you all feel about certain things, […]

Well it happened again last night…twice.  I had dropped by my local watering hole at Brewforia, and they had their usual selection of good craft beer on tap, but they also had their usual great selection of bottles.  So…Decisions, decisions.  Well then the bartender made it a little easier by asking if I wanted to […]

I don’t know about you but I need a Monday Pick-Me-Up.  Here you go, courtesy of ZZ Top!  

It was a coolish afternoon on Saturday, and I found myself at work.  We just moved offices and I needed to get set up.  After a week of living with limited functionality I needed to take some time to unpack fully and set up my new workspace.  I also have a number of deadlines bearing […]

It has come to my attention that a lot of the beer drinkers on this blog do not enjoy whiskey like they do beer.  I think this is a shame, as many of the barrel flavors that many beers now have come from using whiskey barrels and integrating the flavors of the barrel and the […]

Its that spooky time of year again, where the ghouls and goblins come out and mad scientists create all sorts of weird concoctions in their laboratories!  Victory brewing has been making some, and its head Mad Scientist is trying some of his own elixirs.  Enjoy…  

NOW WITH POLL GOODNESS: We talk a lot about beer and whiskey on this site, and we extol the virtues of each one.  The virtues are many, and every once in a while I get a clunker that is used to clean the drain in the sink, but mostly these two beverages are sweet and […]
